The Rise of LA Golf Shafts

LA Golf Shafts burst onto the golf scene, captivating professionals and amateurs alike with their cutting-edge technology and commitment to excellence. Founded by Reed Dickens and Steve Almo, the California-based company has quickly made a name for itself by challenging the norms and pushing the boundaries of golf shaft engineering.

In 2022, we introduced the shafts to our fitting studios with the incredibly popular A-Series fitting a lot of irons with its incredibly stability and feel. 

Precision Engineering for Unparalleled Performance

What sets LA Golf Shafts apart is their focus on precision engineering. The company utilises state-of-the-art techniques, such as their ‘proprietary Seamless Filament Winding process’, to create shafts with exceptional consistency, stability, and feel. Each shaft is meticulously designed, taking into account factors like torque, flex, weight distribution, and kick point to optimise performance and suit a variety of swing styles.

LA Golf Shafts understands that golfers have diverse needs and preferences. As a result, they offer a wide range of shaft options to cater to various swing speeds and playing styles. Whether you’re seeking a high-launching, low-spinning driver shaft or a stable and responsive iron shaft, LA Golf Shafts has you covered.

This is important to remember when taking a fitting as many golfers have had the perception it’s only suitable for big hitters due to the lead ambassadors being Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson, two of the games biggest hitters. And although they have a bespoke range designed for their swing speeds and preferences which are available to try, there is a wide range of shaft choice to suit every golfer.

Titleist had their most recent win at the 2022 Players Championship with Titleist player, Cameron Smith.

The consistency in producing incredible products has allowed them to stay ahead of the game and their dedication to club making speaks volumes. For example, every Vokey wedge is 100% quality inspected! Just think how many wedges world wide get played each year!

“SM9’s new grooves are cut to the edge to maximise spin. Each Vokey wedge is 100% inspected for utmost quality and performance, and a localised heat treatment is applied to the impact area to double the durability of the groove.” ~Titleist
